This has worked well in Natty, but in Oneiric, this no longer works properly. I'll provide the steps I followed: 1) clean install of Oneiric 64bit from October 2nd. (I've used several others too with the same results) 2) set up wireless. No problems. 3) select the wired interface in nm-connection-editor, edit and Method: shared with other computers in the IPv4 page. What happens is that the network is configured and works, but only for a few seconds. Then the network goes into a loop of connect/disconnect. I can use the shared connection on the desktop to a certain degree, but it becomes extremely slow and things like IRC cannot be used since the connection is dropped every two seconds or so. If I boot a Natty live session, this works perfectly using the exact same settings. I will attach my syslog.
